What about a new definition of boredom? Boredom is the opposite of the momentum toward wanted - heard this from Abraham Hicks and it made me think!

Moving away from what you want certainly sounds boring! Seems like we can put up with a lot of discomfort as long as we have the feeling that we're moving towards something good.

Fungus. People can find great excitement in watching time lapsed videos of fungus grow. I suppose we do have a degree of choice in what we find to be exciting or boring. As annoying as it is, the simple fact that everything decays around us means there will always be an endless supply of something to maintain. This just means taking time away from that exciting TV show.

I sometimes think of just watching nature, like things growing, the rotating sky with risings and settings, wildlife, and so on, as a kind of baseline of entertainment. Maybe if our minds and nervous systems are clear and relaxed enough, we don't need anything else as pure entertainment. If that seems boring, there's no shortage of varied and challenging problems we need to solve along the way to get to that state of "nothing to do but listen to the birds"!
